Hebei Shenzhou Zhongguang Pigeon Racing Club, the first leg of the 500km 2024 Spring Race, started basketing at 14 pm on March 25. Due to the weather forecast, there was a geomagnetic storm, which was said to be the strongest since September 2017, so some fanciers gave up on the race. However, this did not stop the passionate fanciers, and a total of 526 pigeons were basketed and sealed by the end of the race. At around 17 o'clock in the afternoon, the pigeon car carrying the hopes of pigeon fanciers drove out of the club and set off towards the Luohe River.
On March 26th, the car carrying the hopes and dreams of pigeon fanciers quietly stopped in Luohe, in the WeChat group of the Shenzhou Zhongguang Pigeon Club, at 6:34 the referee sent a video, the sun has come out of Luohe, and the data has been measured at 6:38, 33°39'42.95 "north latitude 114°06'28.74" east longitude, and then the referee inspected the seal. At 6:53, the referee gave an order, the cage was opened, and the pigeons rushed out one after another, spreading their wings and flying into the blue sky, at this time the 500km race of the Zhongguang pigeon club began.
Time is walking minute by minute, the blue sky is flying pigeons in the competition, in fact, the pigeon fancier's thinking art is fighting, see who is the king today, the pigeon falls and scans and uploads to be the champion.
At 11:51:12, Hengshui pigeon fancier Chang Cunyue, who lives 477 kilometers southeast of the Zhongguang Club, took the lead in scanning and uploading, with a velocity of 1599 m/min. Time is moving forward and the data of the China pigeon network is changing with the arrival of the pigeons.
At 11:58:02, Song Jianjun, who lives in the 527 kilometers north of the Zhongguang Club, returned a group of 4 kings, and scanned and uploaded them. The staff of the Zhongguang Pigeon Racing Club immediately contacted Song Jianjun for a pigeon inspection.
Subsequently, Meng Xiangzhuang interviewed Song Jianjun and Song Teacher by phone. Because I knew Song Jianjun before, Song Jianjun flew very well when he followed the Hengshui Pigeon Association 10 years ago, so the interview went relatively smoothly. Mr. Song Jianjun told me that there are 3 pigeons in the champion, runner-up, third runner-up and third place that are of Sanjieshi blood, and one of them contains Sanjies's bloodline. It's really a drop of blood. The pigeons are returning home, and spring is brooding season, so it is not convenient to have more time to talk on the phone. I wish Mr. Song Jianjun good results next time.
